Blazers are SO EASY. You just throw one on with a basic white tee and some jeans and you instantly look awesome.
Well. You instantly look awesome if your blazer is good. If your blazer sucks or is boring, you look like you threw one on with a basic tee and jeans and thought you’d look good but actually miserably failed. To avoid that, here are some blazer tips:
* FIT, fit, fit. It’s all in the fit. The blazer should fit across the shoulders, across the bust, and the sleeves should be long enough.
* You should be able to button a blazer.
* You can have a boyfriend blazer–slouchier, longer, bigger cut, but it must be lean. Slim. Button it. If you can fit a chunky sweater underneath, it’s too big.
* Styles for day: schoolboy/girl, basic black or navy, plaid
* Styles for night: sequins, shiny, basic black or navy in non-cotton fabrics
**A note on layering blazers: a definite win, and there are about two weeks a year when you want that many layers on in Austin, Texas. To do: skinny tank + hoodie + blazer =
